This is a little off topic, but I know this list has people in it who
can answer this easily.
We are a small ISP and I'm trying to figure out how to keep my customers
from getting so much ARP traffic.
Here's a very dumbed-down diagram of how the network is set up:
,------------.
| 4 T1 lines |
`------------'
|
,--------------.
| Cisco Router |
`--------------'
|
,-----------------. ,------------------. ,-------------.
| Ethernet Switch |---| Web/Email Server |---| DHCP Server |
`-----------------' `------------------' `-------------'
|
(( Wireless Network ))
|
,---------------.
| Customer's PC |
`---------------'
Right now, customers default gateway is set to the Cisco Router. I'm
guessing I need to insert another router in the mix and customers should
be using it. New diagram:
,------------.
| 4 T1 lines |

| Cisco Router |
`--------------'

,-----------------. ,------------------.
| Ethernet Switch |---| Web/Email Server |
`-----------------' `------------------'

| Linux Router |
`--------------'
|
,-----------------. ,-------------.
| Ethernet Switch |---| DHCP Server |
`-----------------' `-------------'
|
(( Wireless Network ))
|

| Customer's PC |
`---------------'
Am I right? If so, what do I need to do to get this going right?
Thanks in advance,
